[1] Actually this is definitely less pants [2] in comparison to 
    gnome-core-1.5.4 release because of the great work that's been done 
    with the panel keynav by Padraig

[2] But mostly pants because Mark is a lazy ass and hasn't finished 
    fixing libpanel_applet [3]

[3] Of course, I'm a lazy ass as well...but we're not disputing this ;)
